Give it a year or two, and I am sure all major saw brands will have one.
Yup!

You can buy the lovely 260 all day long. I want a strato 50cc!
Didn't have time to read the first 50 pages but just wanted to chime in on the 441. I've had mine for awhile maybe 6-8 months while a crew i've worked with has an early 07 model, I run synthetic and high octane while he runs whatever is cheaper wherever he can buy it. I clean my saws once a week while he only cleans his when he swaps out a chain and to be honest with you I can't tell a diff between mine and his minus the 28" to a 25" bar. I've heard issues with the 441 being talked about but have never seen them around here. I had a 460 for a bit but as troll man said the 441 does feel like a husky which is kind of the best of both worlds..
Howdy,
I'm not trying to be brand biased here. I've bought, run, and sold a bunch of saws from different manufacturers. I currently own a Stihl, and a Husqvarna. My comment was aimed more towards the relationship between the 441 and Stihl's available models. I take it you're eluding to the 575, and 576. I wonder how successful the 441 would be if the 440 was still sitting on the shelf next to it like the 372 is to the Husqvarna's. People would still be tearing it a new one just like they did when they brought it out.

Must be a special 441, I have it now, LOL. Hope to have it ported soon.
Hi All
I own both 460 & 441 Stihl saws and to me a saw is just a tool used to do a job. At the end of the day what I look at is production which equates to profit and what I have found is that the 460 out produces the 441 in many ways. Lets say you are on a 30 to 40 % slope falling a high grade 34 to 36 in. white oak and how and where you lay that log could mean alot in skid time and in the end what that log brings at market. To lay that tree where and how it needs to lay many times is acomlished by using a saw that can preform in a way to accomplish this. What I have found is the 460 out preforms the 441 hands down. There are times when a millisecond in what you can get the saw to do means whether you are able to accomplish this or not. I have found that when making the falling cut there are times that it is necessary to croud the saw considerbaly to keep up with the fall so as to lay the tree where an how it needs to lay, it is almost impossible to do this with the 441 do to the fact that by the time you have loaded the springs in the antivibe system you have used up the crutial time needed to remove proud wood to control the fall, nor does the 441 have the brute torque to do this in the time required. Like I said to me it is all about the bottom line. I will say that the 441 uses about half the fuel which might be why it doesent have the low end grunt when called for in an instant
slopes.30 to 40 %.
The MTronic has a C after the 441
There is no carb adjustment screws

How would I tell if my 441 is an mtronic
This thread illustrates the differnce between the Husky and stihl owners. It seems like the husky owner values features and performance more than the Stihl owner. The Stihl owners seem to have an unrealistic value for tradition. They seem to oppose any progress, whether it is advancement or regulation. Husky has been ahead of Stihl one to two years in every catagory. I don't know how long Stihl can rest on its reputation. There are several asian saws that I would rate as more reliable than Stihl or Husky
